Datotel is a St. Louis-based managed services provider, complemented with a full suite of IT services to manage technology systems. Datotel began with a team of just six employees in 2005, grew to 27 by mid-2006, and expanded again in 2007 for a current employee team of 35. Datotel also geographically expanded in 2007. In April, the company added an office in WingHaven (O'Fallon, Mo.), to better serve clients west of St. Louis.

"We pride ourselves on our investments and expansions, which have impacted the local economy by creating employment growth in two key St. Louis areas of business. Our services also help protect the St. Louis economy by keeping local businesses up and running - without interruption caused by technology-related issues."
The Missouri Chamber of Commerce and Industry will honor Datotel and five other Fast Track Award winners during the 2007 Annual Meeting and Awards Dinner on Nov. 15 in Kansas City. Gov. Matt Blunt will deliver the keynote address.
